As the trade deadline approaches, it's being reported that the Sacramento Kings are unwilling to take on long-term contracts. This does limit their trade options, but it's also the right call. They already have problems with big-money contracts, and don't want to make their rebuild any harder.
One major issue the Kings have to face are high cost contracts for players who don't fit the vision of the rebuild. The focus is on defense as a core tenet, but Sacramento's most expensive players don't really play defense. This leaves the front office with no cap space to work with on team building.
